TD Measurement

It provides guidelines for supporting the cost measurement and assessment of TD items such as principal, interest, and scenario changes.
Some terms are highlighted in italics. You can access definitions for these terms by clicking on them.

Activity MEA_1: Define and use specific technologies to measure TD

Project members can define and adopt technologies to properly estimate the costs related to TD items.

Task MEA_T1.

Identify and define adequate SE technology that can be used to support the measure of the costs (interest and principal) of TD items.

Status

Recommendations

R1_MEA_T1.

Look for specific SE technologies proposed for TD measurement or techniques and practices adopted in the project to estimate effort/costs/time of tasks that can be used to measure the costs for measurement of TD items. See here the list of some technologies to measure TD items.

Status
Task MEA_T2.

Adopt the defined SE technologies to measure TD items.

Status

Activity MEA_2: Analyze scenario change

The possible scenario changes of the project related to each TD item can be mapped to help them estimate the interest of each TD item.

Task MEA_T3.

Map and describe the possible scenario changes that may occur in future project cycles and their potential risks related to each TD item, for example, changes in project’ members, short deadlines, and inclusion of new requirements.

Status

Recommendations

R1_MEA_T3.

If relevant, use the proposed Artifact 5 (Template of Documentation of TD items -Possible Change Scenario) to register the mapped scenarios.

Status
Task MEA_T4.

Estimate the probability of occurrence for each mapped scenario. The likelihood varies with different time frames. Then, this probability should be estimated by considering some specific time.

Status

Recommendations

R1_MEA_T4.

Measurement scales and/or estimative practices adopted in the project can be used for such probability. For example, scales for evaluation of impact and likelihood of risks.

Status

Activity MEA_3: Estimate the costs of TD

The costs regarding principal, interest, and total can be estimated for each TD item to properly measure them.

Task MEA_T5.

Estimate the current cost (principal) for repayment of each TD item.

Status

Recommendations

R1_MEA_T5.

Use the defined SE technologies to support the measurement of the principal of TD items.

Status

R2_MEA_T5.

Historical data about efforts estimative can be used to achieve a more accurate estimation beyond the initial assessment (high/medium/low).

Status
Task MEA_T6.

Estimate the accumulated interest for each TD item.

Status

Recommendations

R1_MEA_T6.

The interest can be estimated based on the predicted scenarios. Besides, if relevant, the dependence between TD items also can be considered to estimate the TD interest.

Status

R2_MEA_T6.

Use the defined SE technologies to support the measurement of the interest of TD items.

Status
Task MEA_T7.

Estimate the total cost for each TD item. This estimative should consider the sum of principal and interest values.

Status
